Along a 18000-bp segment of dna, approximately how many molecules of each kind of histone protein do you expect to find?

1 answer:

7 0

Nucleosomes are structured as follows: Two each of the histones H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 come together to form a histone octamer, which binds and wraps about 1.7 turns of DNA, or about 147 base pairs<span>. The addition of one H1 protein wraps another 20 base pairs, resulting in two full turns around the octamer. These nucleosomes are joined by the DNA that runs between them (an average of about</span> 40 base pairs). This joining DNA is referred to as linker DNA.

So,a total of 197 base pairs are used up in one nucleosome.

So,total no.of H1 = 6000/197 = 30

Total total no.each of H2A, H2B, H3, H4 = 2* no.of H1

= 2*30 = 60 each.

When an environmental stimulus is received, the signal is usually transmitted through three types of nerve cells. In which order

Alexeev081 [22]

Answer:

The correct answer is - sensory neurons → inter-neurons → motor neurons.

Explanation:

The nerve system receives a signal from the external change or stimuli and transmitted it to the spinal cord and brain. The transmission of the signals or information is carried by three different types of nerve cells: sensory neurons, interneurons, and motor neurons.

Sensory neurons receive the signal from the external stimuli and converting it to the electrical impulses. Interneurons are the associative neurons that establish the connection between sensory neurons and motor neurons. Motor neurons are the efferent nerves that carry the signal from interneurons and brainstem or spinal cord and transmit to the muscles.

Thus, the correct answer is - sensory neurons → inter-neurons → motor neurons.

You are asking the question wrong. The name of the number is frequency.

This is information collected by observation or experimentation. It is recorded and analyzed by scientists.
